L'Occitane Eau du Badian

I'm wearing a full three sprays of this puppy today, and a comparison in my mind keeps recurring: Grey Flannel. Is Grey Flannel heavy on anise? This is definitley in the Geoffrey Beene vein to my nose, either Bowling Green or Grey Flannel. Or else my nose is off!

Re: L'Occitane Eau du Badian

After researching it a little, I see that Star Anise is a main ingredient in Eau de Grey Flannel, the discontinued scent. Of course it is also THE main ingredient in Eau du Badian. Maybe that's what I'm recalling.

They share a similar mossy base but the top/mid notes differ greatly with anise in Badian and violets in GF.

"I exist for myself, and for those to whom my unquenchable thirst for freedom gives everything, but also for everyone, since insofar as I am able to love - I love everyone. Of noble hearts, I am the noblest - and the most generous of those that yearn to give love in return. - I am a human being, I love death and I love life."
